If that is only a matter of time, I certainly can help you with that.
On the other hand, if you don't want to write and maintain code
following the GNU's C notation standard I can't say for sure whether the
GNU Project would open an exception for you.  However, I can ask them.
After all, I'm not quite sure whether the GNU C notation is demanded or
just strongly encouraged.

Meanwhile, do you have other objections against the requirements found
in GNU software evaluation page[1], The GNU Coding Standards[2] and
Information for Maintainers of GNU software[3], so I can take the
issue to their attention?

Notice that you don't have to read all of [2] and [3].  Just
quickly skim over it.
